Xavier POV
My phone rang and I answered it,
“Hello, what is it?”
“S… sir, Mrs McCartney has been kidnapped by the syndicate ”
“What?, how did that happen?”
“I don’t know sir but it seems like someone snitched on them”
“Try to find her, track her phone, her GPS should be on and after we find her, find who snitched on them, what about the other two?”
“They are safe sir”
“Okay, go on and find her and don’t call me unless there is good news, am heading to the place now.”
“Yes sir ”
I run upstairs ignoring the pain in my abdomen and took my blazer with me, I entered my car and drove off
“You promised me she will be safe during this operation of yours, you promised but what happened, she has been fucking kidnapped”
I said to the head crime police once I got there, the man was sweating buckets and he looked red like someone that was being choked, it was obvious sign of stress but I was too angry to care at all.
“Mr Xavier, calm down a little, we are doing everything we can to find her, we are tracking her GPS at the moment but seems her phone is off but we are not giving up, we have found her last location and will go get evidence ”
“Where the heck is it?”
“Where is what, Mr Xavier ”
I groaned about of anger and the man obviously flinched.
“Where the last scene located at, I am going there alone”
“But sir, it’s… it’s dangerous, you have to remain in standby”
“Remain standby, you must be joking ”
I angrily left the place and headed towards there immediately.
The police had already sit up a tap around the area, I can see her bag and heels there with a splash of blood around the area.
“Please be safe Jessica, please ”
My phone immediately rang startling me, I answered it immediately
“Well, well well, dear Xavier, how are you?”
I checked the phone when I heard a voice I didn’t recognise, the number on the screen was private.
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Oh, sorry, forgive my manners, am the person that owns the place your dear lovely wife has been running almost in ”
“How dare you?”
I immediately signaled the police and they started tracking the call immediately, all I need to do is to keep it going.
“That’s no way to talk to someone that just have your wife due to your inability to protect her”
“Let her go, where the hell is she?”
“I just took her for questioning, don’t worry she will be fine, I haven’t touched her…. yet”
“Don’t you dare lay your fucking hand on my wife, not even a strand of her hair ”
“And if I do, what are you going to do about it?”
“I will chase you to the end of the earth if that’s the last thing I do”
“Wow, am scared already, I want my mommy, well just prepare for a funeral then”
He hanged up on me, I nearly threw my phone away,
“Did you get the location?”
“Not the exact place but we have a general idea of where it is, let’s go there”
“I hope you are not going with these sirens and lights on, you might as well carry a speaker and mic and announce we are coming”
“Mr Xavier, of course not, we are going there discreetly ”
I got down from their van and took my own car, I can’t sit around waiting when she is in danger.
JESSICA’S POV
“Haven’t she come to, did you hit her too hard?”
“No, I didn’t she will wake up soon”
“Is she even still alive?”
“She should be, I didn’t hit her hard”
I heard the door open, seems like someone came in, he must be the boss because this two kept quite and saluted him.
Someone with smooth shoes approached me, his presence was heavy and daunting that my eyelids started quivering.
“Open your eyes, I know you are awake, open them before I do so myself ”
The person said, I complied and opened my eyes, my hands were tied up to the ceiling, I was semi hanging with my hands and it was so painful, my shoulder blades feels like it’s going to tear apart at any time, I stood on my tiptoes to relieve the pain a little.
“Let me go”
“Talking already, that’s good, now tell me what you know”
“I don’t know anything ”
“Then why did you start running when you saw my men?”
“They were the ones chasing me, what do you expect, of course I started running ”
“Smart ass aren’t we, guys get the stuff”
A huge tank of water was brought and my rope was raised up till I was so high up, my shoulder were more painful than before, I felt tears coming out from my eyes.
” Let her down”
Without warning, I was doused into the water, my shoulder was relieved a bit but now, I couldn’t breath, I struggled frequently to free myself and get up for air but it was failing badly, when I thought I would die, I was raised up again but not completely out from the tank, I coughed as I greedily breath in air into my lungs
“Are you ready to talk”
“I don’t know, please I don’t know”
Before I could finish i was doused again,
“Tell me everything you know or be ready to suffer”
“I…. I sw…. I swear I…. I don’t know anything, I was just told to come there by an anonymous call”
“Keep talking ”
“That’s all I know, please let me go”
“Not yet”
I was doused again, this time longer than before, I was sure I was going to die, my brain became clouded, out of desperation I opened my mouth and water poured in, then everything went black.
“She has fainted”
